Inspiration Behind The Brand Name
The architectural giant got its name in an interesting way. BoB Immobilienkonzepte GmbH is named after a 2016 movie named “Bob, the Stray Cat.” The film tells the true story of James Bowen, a homeless street musician whose life is transformed and given a second chance through his unusual friendship with a stray cat named Bob. Together, they overcome challenges, find new perspectives, and touch the hearts of many people along their journey. The movie was an analogy to the circumstances of the company’s CEO back then. That was how it got its unusual name.

Sustainable Approach
The firm’s approach is based on three pillars of sustainable construction that consider environmental, social, and economic aspects, ensuring long- term self-sufficiency.
The first pillar is sustainable construction, which begins with the initial planning stages, taking climate compatibility into account. The team of planners select materials that are low in carbon emissions and biobased, and incorporate the requirements of the location and building type, leveraging modern technology to optimize the design process.
The second pillar focuses on sustainable communities. They allocate more public open spaces, enable urban agriculture, and strive to enhance biodiversity. Additionally, fostering social connections is central to their approach.
The third pillar emphasizes sustainable economic practices. They incorporate passive heating and cooling methods, generate surplus energy through renewable sources, and utilize it for tasks like rainwater harvesting and wastewater treatment, thereby reducing the overall water consumption of the building.
Therefore, the firm’s international team begins the sustainable design process long before construction starts. This approach not only benefits the construction phase but also significantly reduces energy consumption during the building’s operation. Considering these small details is essential to work towards the overall goals of the redevelopment project.
